Aw come on! Already!? I’m reading reports that the Tampa Bay Lightning have fired their new head coach, Barry Melrose. I’m sad that it has ended this way because I was so excited when he returned to coaching after a 15 year (?) absence. In the meantime, associate coach, Rick Tocchet, will be filling […]

Carolina Hurricanes @ Montreal Canadiens - October 28, 2008
The Montreal Canadiens defeated the Carolina Hurricanes in a shootout last night with Habs captain, Saku Koivu, netting the game-winner.
I have to take the opportunity, again, to mention how well Alex Tanguay (Montreal) is doing - he has 9 points (6 goals, 3 assists) in […]

Vincent Lecavalier did what a good captain should do - he led his team to a victory in a very close game. Within two minutes of each other, Jussi Jokinen (Tampa Bay Lightning) and Matt Stajan (Toronto Maple Leafs) scored a goal for their […]

Philadelphia Flyers @ Atlanta Thrashers - October 28, 2008
WOW. What else can you really say? Well, I guess you can say that, for some reason, the Atlanta Thrashers seem to just fall apart when they have to play against the Philadelphia Flyers… It was a nightmare of a game for any Atlanta fan to […]

After losing the last three games, Phoenix Coyotes coach, Wayne Gretzky, decided it was time to shake things up so he chose to put backup goaltender, Mikael Tellqvist between the pipes and it seems to have been a good plan - the netminder made 31 saves. The only time the Washington Capitals scored in their […]

It almost looked, for a while, like the Carolina Hurricanes were going to shut out the Pittsburgh Penguins. Canes centre, Brandon Sutter, got his first career goal in the first period and the team held the Pens at bay until well into the third when, finally, captain Sidney Crosby scored a power play goal.

Last night, the New Jersey Devils triumphed over the Atlanta Thrashers in a 1-0 victory. They can thank goaltender, Martin Brodeur, for the win - the veteran player notched his 97th career shutout. It’s so early in the season so can you imagine if he were to continue getting shutouts from this point on? I […]
